So far. Two are B10. PSU is not one of them.
3 ranked teams lose today...
- Thread starter canuckhal
- Start date
Any Big Ten team losing OOC is good by me, except for PSU of course. One loss was due to a missed call. Aw, sucks to be MSU. And Minnesota eked out a win over Georgia Southern. An Iowa State win would be great too.
That Temple win over Maryland will help kill some of the buzz from the Maryland fan base.
Ya! It's great! It gives the CFP Committee the excuse it needs to f-(k us over again if we lose a game somewhere along the line.
if Michigan State and Maryland would have kept winning, and we beat them, our street cred would have been exponentially better than it will be now. Now if we beat them , we just beat two chump teams we are now expected to beat. Our room for error has been cut drastically.
If all the Big 10 teams were good enough to win every non conference game our schedule would be too tough to go 11-1 anyway.
Screw it,I’m glad MSU and Maryland lost.
Making the CFP is not a concern. We're not going undefeated. I have hopes for a good season and a big win or two, but there has to be a lot of improvement even for that to happen.
I don’t think so. All that matters is beating OSU and Michigan. Beating MSU and MD never move the needle, no matter their record. On the other hand, a loss to either one of them kills our playoff hopes, no matter our record.
Win the BIG with one loss and we are in the CFP. Two losses and we are out. It’s pretty simple.
Tell that to Ohio State. They got royally screwed last year with 1 loss.
We will need all the help we can get. Just beating Ohio State won't be enough. And losing to them, or anyone else, might now be disastrous if we want in the CFP.
Then what the heck are we playing for????? A meaningless Rose Bowl that no one gives a crap about anymore????
Look for Jim and UM to come out firing on all cylinders next week after the bye. He just needed a little time to fix a few very minor issues. Wisky could be in deep trouble.
Not true....Bama, LSU, Georgia, Oklahoma, OSU and Clemson are all in ahead of us even with one loss...and likely more than two of them will not have two losses, so unless we go undefeated, we are out (although it doesn’t really matter because we’re not going 11-1).
Hopefully Jim doesn't get out coached vs. the BYE this week.
That michigan state loss was sweet. ASU took the lead, 10-7, with 50 seconds left. michigan state then kicked a field goal to tie it up, but there was a penalty. Then they missed the second field-goal attempt and lost. Awesome.
We’re playing for the same thing that everyone other than 6 teams are playing for, the best season possible and maybe winning our conference.
From the look on his face all the time it looks like he ate a shit sandwich!
Agreed. It does not make sense for us to be happy that other Big Ten teams lose out of conference. Especially teams PSU plays. This has been a bad day for Big Ten - Mich St, Maryland, Iowa losing, Purdue losing. Not a good day
Hate wins over logic? BUFFALO LION is correct BIG wins are absolutely better for our credibility, no question.
I don’t think the Rose Bowl is meaningless, it’s a great bowl game. I bet if you ask anyone from the 2016 team, or from any year or team, that they will tell you it was a meaningless experience.
Ohio State lost twice in 2017.
They also didn’t get royally screwed in 2018. Alabama, Clemson, and Notre Dame were all undefeated. Oklahoma, while an argument could be made against them making it, were also a 1-loss conference champion. If OSU deserved to be in the playoffs over Oklahoma, it wasn’t by much.
Florida just lost their starting quarterback, Felipe Franks. It looks like he’s gone for the rest of the season.
Yeah you could see that was a nasty tackle. Hit in the front abs, and a mid back hit almost simultaneously . Announcers wisely didn't show replay. No spinal injury but carted off the field.
If we don’t tighten our zone coverage, it could get ugly. We made a bad QB look good. The Terps have a much better QB and receivers.
KY winning over #9 Florida? It can’t be. That’s the same KY team many on here ridiculed us for losing to in a bowl game with a better team...now they’re 2-0 trying to beat a top 10 team to go 3-0....not bad for such a horrible football team.
Guess I might as well just spend every Saturday this fall antiquing with the wife.
Do you ever stop? We get it. You think Penn State’s coaches are beyond reproach and are deeply offended at any suggestion our team is less than perfect. You don’t need to bring it up every thread.
By the way, Kentucky just blew the game.
I’ll stop mentioning it all the time when other posters stop bashing our coaches every thread...how’s that? And I’ve never said our team was perfect and if you think I have then you’re not very bright.
And Ky blew the game but they were a lot closer than people thought they would be and they’re not as good as they were when we played them.
